Codependency
Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Have you noticed that you haven’t been feeling quite like yourself? Like something feels off, but you’re not exactly sure why? No matter how hard you work, you always feel behind and can't seem to ever catch up on your to-do list. Maybe you keep thinking that you "should" be doing better and you "shouldn't" be struggling this way. You want to be present, calm, and confident, but you aren’t sure how to get there. It is possible for you to feel like yourself again and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there.
I help teens, adults, and couples who are feeling stuck and disconnected to find freedom and relief. I'll collaborate with you to notice the themes and patterns occurring in your life that might be causing problems and then work alongside you to find new options and solutions to address those patterns.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, dealing with past trauma, relationship difficulties, or just think it might be helpful to talk to someone about how you are feeling, I’d love to talk with you about how I can help. Visit my website to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about whether I might be the right therapist for you.

I help my clients break free from patterns of people-pleasing, over-responsibility, and self-neglect that often stem from early relational dynamics. Together, we explore the roots of these patterns, strengthen healthy boundaries, and cultivate self-worth that isn’t dependent on others’ approval. My approach fosters emotional independence, self-compassion, and authentic connection—empowering clients to build relationships grounded in balance, respect, and mutual care.

Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Codependency and addiction are closely linked, as codependent behaviors often arise in relationships where addiction is present. Whether the addiction involves substances, behaviors, or other compulsions, codependency can perpetuate unhealthy cycles, enabling the addict while compromising the emotional well-being of the codependent individual.
The Role of Professional Help:
Therapy: Individual or couples therapy can address the root causes of codependency and addiction, promoting healthier interactions.
Family Systems Work: Addiction and codependency often stem from family dynamics, making family therapy a valuable tool.
Education: Understanding addiction as a disease and codependency as a learned behavior can foster empathy and promote healthier choices.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Codependency and people-pleasing can be an adaptation to the environment in which we grew up. Understanding that our own needs are our legitimate concern, and setting boundaries so that these needs are met, is necessary to prevent burnout.

Codependency
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Dr. Shelley Sommerfeldt
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency often involves losing yourself in relationships, putting others’ needs above your own, struggling with boundaries, or tying your self-worth to how others feel. I help individuals recognize these patterns, rebuild a strong sense of self, and develop healthier, more balanced relationships. Together, we’ll work to create emotional independence, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of confidence and self-respect.

Codependency
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Codependency can feel like you’re constantly managing other people’s emotions, needs, and reactions—while your own get pushed aside. You may feel guilty when you say no, anxious when someone is upset with you, or responsible for making sure everyone around you is okay. Maybe you find yourself over-explaining, avoiding conflict, or bending over backward to keep the peace. Deep down, you might wonder, “Who am I if I’m not needed?” or “Why do I always end up in one-sided relationships?” These patterns didn’t appear out of nowhere—they were learned in childhood, often in environments where love, approval, or safety felt tied to how well you could care for others. When you were young, putting others first may have been necessary for survival—but now, it’s keeping you stuck in exhaustion, resentment, and self-doubt.
But you don’t have to keep living this way. Healing from codependency isn’t about becoming selfish—it’s about learning that your needs, emotions, and boundaries matter just as much as everyone else’s. Using Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients heal the childhood wounds that created these patterns, so they can stop seeking self-worth through overgiving and start building relationships based on mutual respect and emotional balance. Therapy helps you stop feeling responsible for other people’s happiness, set boundaries without guilt, and finally put yourself on your own priority list. You don’t have to prove your worth by constantly doing for others—you are already enough, just as you are.

Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You may find yourself overgiving, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. Codependency often develops from earlier relationship experiences where your needs were overlooked or unsafe to express. In our work together, we focus on helping you reconnect with your own needs, strengthen your sense of self, and develop healthier boundaries—without guilt. Using approaches like IFS, we gently explore the parts of you that feel responsible for others while building the confidence to show up differently in your relationships.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Codependent patterns often develop as adaptations to earlier relationships and environments where love, approval, or emotional safety felt uncertain. You may find yourself prioritizing others' needs, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, or losing touch with your own needs. I help you understand the origins of these patterns, build healthier boundaries, strengthen your sense of self, and create relationships that feel more balanced, secure, and fulfilling.

John P Rogers
Marriage and Family Therapist, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
I work with highly motivated individuals, couples, and families who are ready to do something different about the patterns of codependency that have been shaping their relationships. If you’re feeling over-responsible for others, losing yourself in the process, or stuck in cycles of people-pleasing and resentment, now may be the time to step off that exhausting merry-go-round and move toward healthier connection and balance.
I can help you.
With your goals for therapy in mind, we will work together using interventions uniquely tailored to your relational patterns and personal history. You will gain practical tools and meaningful insight to: recognize codependent cycles more clearly, understand what drives and maintains them, learn where and how to set healthier boundaries, and establish a more secure, self-respecting, and fulfilling path forward—both within yourself and in your relationships.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency can feel like being trapped in over-responsibility for others while neglecting yourself. Using IFS, attachment-focused work. I help clients understand the parts of them driving these patterns and build healthier boundaries. Narrative and experiential therapies further support reclaiming self-worth and agency. I also offer diagnostic clarity when codependent patterns overlap with trauma, depression, or personality features.

Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
Codependency can feel like losing yourself in the emotional needs, moods, or expectations of others—earning love through overgiving, overfunctioning, or self-sacrifice. In our work together, you’ll learn to recognize these old relational threads and gently reweave boundaries, self-worth, and autonomy. I help individuals develop secure internal grounding, heal attachment wounds, and create relationships that feel reciprocal, steady, and emotionally safe.
